In New Haven County, West Haven resident Luis Carrasquillo cashed in his winning Powerball prize on Friday, Oct. 29 on a ticket that was sold at Tobacco Plus on Platt Avenue in West Haven.
According to CT Lottery, “when a winning scratch ticket is validated through a Lottery Retailer's terminal, the remaining number of unclaimed prizes for that prize level is automatically updated reflecting one less prize. Until the individual or group presents their winning ticket for claim at CT Lottery Headquarters, the identity of a winner is unknown.”
